Dunk The Principal At Roosevelt School Festival

will hold its Fall Festival on Saturday, October 15 from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Celina Ramirez, one of the organizers, said the event will feature a rock wall, inflatable slide, a BBQ by the school's Dads' Club, a bake sale, myriad games and a Haunted House created by Davis Street Family Resource Center.

One highlight of the event promises to be the dunking booth. School officials including principal Victoria Forrester, shown above at a previous festival, allow students to douse them by throwing a ball at a bullseye.

To make sure all Roosevelt students can take part regardless of means, each student from the school gets a certificate they can exchange for 10 game tickets and a free meal, Ramirez said.

More than 100 teen volunteers run games and booths to help satisfy the community service hours required for their high school Health and Safety curriculum.

In addition to fun, the festival offers families and staff a chance to connect, Ramirez said.  About 1,000 students, parents, and community members generally take part.
